Abstract: The matter under research is openness and availability of information about the law-making process of local authorities based on the example of municipal units of the Krasnoyarsk Region.  By applying the continuous reading method, the authors of the article have carried out monitoring of availability and contents of official web sites provided by 88 municipal units (44 municipal regions, 17 urban districts and 27 municipal settlements). Within the framework of the research, the authors have discovered a number of criteria that may be used to evaluate accessibility and сonveniency of using these sites for legal information inquiries. The results of the analysis demonstrate that there is access to information about municipal legal acts posted on official sites of local authorities. In the course of their research the authors have applied dialectical analysis method as well as a number of private research methods such as structured systems, formal law methods (deduction, induction, definition and division of definition), statistical observations, summary, groupping and oethers. As a result of the research, the authors have defined qualitative and quantitative indicators of openness and availability of information about rule-making processes of local authorities. They have also described gaps and defects of the process of posting such information that violate the anti-corruption principle of publicity and openness of local authorities' activities. The authors make conclusions aimed at execution of citizens' constitutional right to information about activity of local authorities.
